“Indoor Range Finding” by WiSE lab @ CMU

Acoustic Location Processing System (ALPS) is an indoor ultrasonic ranging technique that can be used to localize modern mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. The method uses a communication scheme in the audio bandwidth just above the human hearing frequency range where mobile devices are still sensitive.
